Hi Emma, I usually get a friend to look after them and brief them well 🙂 I try and make sure that they are at least checked on once a day if Im away, I know that they could go longer if they need to and have enough food, but I don’t like to leave them too long.

Hi Faith! ^_^
You can always make a tunnel for them out of fleece or over their cage with a curtain blanket if they’re kept outdoors. I wouldn’t recommend a heater in case it ever glitches or anything if unsupervised. Hope you’ve found that helpful.

We have found that warm water Bottles wrapped in a towel works quite well and they love it. Just be carful not to make it too hot. Oh and be warned they love the warmth so much that they do their business right there and then . So change the towel every time you change the bottle .

You can fill a petbottle with warm water end then put a sock on it so the piggie dont go burn himself but can cuddle upp near it to stay warm .also i use a tshirt or a cloth i was gonna throw anyway so he can have it as a tent by the bottle to get cosy in.

I am really worried about my guinea pig. I have notice that he is breathing hard and also that he sneezes. I have read articles about respiratory. I haven’t noticed any green reaction in his nose nor under his eyes. He eats just fine, and has his normal routine.
